Disorder seems inevitable when a social system changes. The Soviet Union's collapse provided a recent example, and China is now providing a new example. During China's transformation from a communist society with a centrally planned economy to a market-based socialist society, "ethical decline" has become an increasingly serious issue, and one that has high social and economic costs. Historical experience from many cultures shows that this ethical decline is not inherent to Chinese culture. Chinese ethics are being compromised by partnerships between government officials and businessmen who benefit at the expense of society because of a lack of monitoring of such relationships during China's radical institutional change. This growing problem poses serious risks to China's social stability and economic development. To solve the problem, it will be necessary to establish a sound legal framework and more effective monitoring and enforcement, rather than hoping for spontaneous evolution of stronger individual ethics
